Chapter 174 Hot pursuit
Chapter 174 Hot pursuit
Faced with the aggressive men in black, Shen Mo, Lin Yuwei and Qingfeng were on high alert.
The men in black came like a tide. Shen Mo was the first to meet the enemy, wielding the sword in his hand with great force. Each strike of the sword carried a fierce momentum, and he instantly repelled several men in black who were rushing in front of him.
Lin Yuwei cast a spell on the side, and rays of light flew out from her hands and hit the men in black, hindering their movements.
Qingfeng waved his staff, muttered something, and summoned a gust of wind that blew the man in black all over the place.
"Come on, everyone. We can't let them succeed!" Shen Mo shouted.
However, the men in black were numerous and well-trained. They quickly reorganized and surrounded Shen Mo and his men.
"This is not a solution. We have to find a way to break out!" Lin Yuwei said.
While Shen Mo was fending off the attacks from the men in black, he was observing the surrounding terrain.
"Qingfeng, you use the strong wind to create chaos, and we will take the opportunity to rush out!" Shen Mo shouted.
Qingfeng nodded and cast a spell with all his strength. A strong wind whistled, sand and stones flew, and the men in black were immediately thrown into chaos.
Shen Mo, along with Lin Yuwei and Qingfeng, rushed towards a weak direction.
After their desperate fight, they finally broke through the encirclement of the men in black.
"Go quickly, don't stop!" Shen Mo said.
They ran desperately in the mountains and forests, with the men in black chasing them closely.
After running for a while, Lin Yuwei was exhausted and out of breath.
"I can't run anymore." Lin Yuwei said.
Shen Mo looked back at the man in black who was getting closer and closer, feeling extremely anxious.
Just then, they discovered a cave hidden among the mountain walls.
"Go in and hide first!" Shen Mo said.
The three of them quickly entered the cave, and Shen Mo and Qingfeng brought a few large rocks to block the entrance.
The man in black chased them to the front of the cave and looked around for any trace of them.
"They must be hiding nearby, look for them carefully!" said the leader of the men in black.
Inside the cave, Shen Mo and the others didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of being discovered by the men in black.
After a while, the noise outside gradually faded away and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's safe for now, but we can't hide here forever." Shen Mo said.
Lin Yuwei said: "So what should we do next?"
Shen Mo thought for a moment, "We must find a safe place as soon as possible to continue studying the treasure."
Qingfeng said: "I remember there is an abandoned temple nearby, maybe we can go there."
So they carefully left the cave and headed towards the temple.
Along the way, they avoided roads where there might be men in black and finally arrived at the abandoned temple.
Although the temple is dilapidated, it is still hidden.
They walked into the temple, found a room, and began to discuss their next plan.
"We already know that the power of the treasure needs to be felt and guided with the heart, but how to do it specifically still requires further exploration." Shen Mo said.
Lin Yuwei said: "Maybe we can calm down, concentrate, and try to establish a connection with the treasure."
Shen Mo nodded in agreement, and the three of them closed their eyes, concentrated their minds, and tried to communicate with the treasure.
After a while, Shen Mo felt a weak force coming from the treasure, and he was delighted.
"I seem to feel something." Shen Mo said.
Lin Yuwei and Qingfeng also expressed the same feeling.
Just as they were immersed in their connection with the treasure, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the temple.
"Could it be that the man in black is chasing us?" Lin Yuwei said nervously.
Shen Mo made a gesture to keep quiet, walked gently to the door, and looked out through the crack.
I saw an old man in ragged clothes walking towards the temple.
Shen Mo breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door, and asked, "Old man, why are you here?"
The old man glanced at them and said, "I am a wandering Taoist priest. I passed by here and felt a mysterious power fluctuation here."
Shen Mo's heart moved, "Old man, do you know anything about this?"
The old man smiled and said, "I know a thing or two, maybe I can help you."
Shen Mo invited the old man into the room and told him about their experiences.
After hearing this, the old man looked at the treasure with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"This is an extremely powerful treasure. It is fate that you can obtain it." said the old man.
"Then can you tell us how to fully control its power?" Lin Yuwei asked eagerly.
The old man was silent for a moment, "This requires you to go through a test of your soul."
"A test of the soul?" Shen Mo asked doubtfully.
The old man nodded and said, "Yes, only by passing the test can you truly become one with the treasure and unleash its full power."
After saying that, the old man waved his hands, a ray of light flashed, and the scene in front of Shen Mo and the others suddenly changed...
